Like most brides on their wedding day, Becky Turney was super excited to be marrying the man of her dreams, Kelly. She also knew it would be an emotional day, since her son Triston was no longer alive to be there for it. In one chair on the front row, there was a sign that said, “I’m in heaven for your wedding so what shall I do? I’ll come down to earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just one empty chair. You may not see me but I will be there.” Kelly stopped the ceremony to share his grand surprise to his bride. It was “stand in groomsman” Jacob Kilby, and he’s alive because he has Triston’s heart. Kelly flew Jacob to Alaska to be in the wedding, and that’s when Becky got to hear her son’s heartbeat again. See the whole beautiful story with pictures.
